I am always grateful to have an opportunity to run a competition, especially after thinking my winning entry probably didn't get a single laugh. With that thought in mind, the topic this time around is to create a comic where one of the characters is somehow caught off guard or completely surprised by something that happens or is told to them. Other than that, there are no specific requirements to follow.

I'll try to keep the judging timeframe for this one at about a week. Good luck everybody!

---Wow, it's like there's a party in my mouth, and everyone's invited!

The moment has come to wrap this one up. Plenty of good entries this time around but the winning comic goes to atomiclunch for "A Christmas Story: The Remake" as that would be one worth checking out over the holidays. Congrats, the next competition is yours.
